What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our fintech environment, we needed a database that could handle growing transaction volumes while maintaining data accuracy and system availability. Even though our system currently runs in a single region and traffic is moderate, we wanted a solution that could support future growth and ensure reliable transaction processing.
Before using YugabyteDB, we were concerned about scaling the system and maintaining consistency for financial transactions as usage increased. Ensuring uptime and planning capacity required continuous monitoring and manual effort.
After implementing YugabyteDB, we are able to handle transactional workloads more reliably and prepare for future scaling without major architectural changes. The system provides strong consistency and built-in replication, which helps ensure that financial data remains accurate and available.
We previously struggled with planning for growth and ensuring transaction reliability, but now we can manage transactions with greater confidence and scale when needed, resulting in improved system stability, reduced operational risk, and better readiness for future expansion.

What do you like best about the product?
Because it works with standard ORMs and drivers, it feels very intuitive and “comfortable” for developers to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing a multi-node cluster—handling updates, backups, and overall node health—takes noticeably more effort than using a managed RDS instance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can scale your business infinitely by adding nodes as you grow, avoiding the massive costs and risks of migrating to a new database later.
Cloud-Native Scale with Relational Sanity—A Rare, Powerful Combo
What do you like best about the product?
It combines cloud-native scale with relational sanity, which is a rare and very useful combo.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s powerful, but the learning curve and ops overhead can be higher than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
YugabyteDB solves global scale and high availability with strong consistency.

PostgreSQL-Friendly Migration with Strong Consistency for Transactional Systems
What do you like best about the product?
Migration is easier if you're already using PostgreSQL, since YugabyteDB supports PostgreSQL-compatible SQL and tools, unlike NoSQL databases which often require major changes.
Well, suited for financial, payment, and other transactional systems, where maintaining accurate and consistent data is very important. they provide strong and reliable support.

What do you dislike about the product?
The setup and management are more complex than traditional databases, and infrastructure costs can be higher due to multiple nodes and replication. One area that could be improved is the setup and cluster management experience. Another aspect is the infrastructure and resource requirements. Overall, while these challenges are common in distributed databases, enhancements in usability, automation, and cost-optimization guidance could make the platform more accessible to a wider range of teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using YugabyteDB, we faced challenges with scalability and high availability in our transactional systems. As transaction volumes increased, it became harder to manage capacity and maintain uptime. Scaling required careful planning and manual effort, and there was always a concern about downtime affecting operations.
After implementing YugabyteDB, scaling the database has become much easier, and the system remains available even if a node fails. This has improved overall reliability and reduced the chances of service interruptions.
Earlier, handling higher transaction loads and ensuring continuous service was difficult, but now we can scale more smoothly and manage failures without impacting users. As a result, the system is more stable, operational risks are lower, and the team spends less time on manual database maintenance and recovery.
In practical terms, this has helped us reduce downtime risks through built-in replication and failover, save time on maintenance and scaling, and support higher transaction volumes without major changes to the system architecture.

PostgreSQL Power with NoSQL-Style Scalability—YugabyteDB Delivers
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve found YugabyteDB to be a real lifesaver because it gives you the best of both worlds: the familiar PostgreSQL features you actually need—like triggers and complex joins—paired with the scalability you’d normally expect from a NoSQL database. It’s also very resilient, so even if a node goes down, the app can stay online without you having to break a sweat. Overall, it lets you scale horizontally without the usual headache of manual sharding or having to give up ACID transactions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there aren’t many downsides. If I had to point to one, it’s that the system is so powerful it can feel like overkill for very small projects. Since it’s a serious distributed database, you do need to invest a bit of extra effort upfront to understand things like cluster configuration and shard distribution if you want to get the best results. It also asks for a little more baseline hardware than a simple single-node setup, but to me that’s a small price to pay for the resilience and scalability you get in return. Overall, it’s a pro-level tool that really starts to pay off once you’ve got it properly dialed in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
YugabyteDB has been a game-changer for my business, eliminating the headache of manual sharding and helping ensure we stay online even during regional outages. It lets us scale our PostgreSQL workloads globally while keeping data close to our users for low latency and full GDPR compliance.
Rock-solid database that grows with our needs
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about YugabyteDB is how well it scales as our traffic grows. We were able to start small and then add more nodes without major downtime or headaches. The fact that it speaks PostgreSQL made it much easier for our team to get up and running quickly — we didn’t have to relearn everything. It’s also been very reliable; even when we’ve had hardware issues, the built-in replication and failover have kept things running smoothly. It gives us confidence that our data is safe
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve in the beginning was a bit steep. Setting up a multi-region cluster took some trial and error, and some parts of the documentation could be clearer. Once we got through the initial setup, it’s been stable, but it definitely requires a bit more hands-on work compared to a traditional single-node database. It’s not “plug and play,” but the payoff has been worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a database that could handle a high volume of transactions across multiple regions without compromising performance or consistency. With YugabyteDB. It’s also reduced downtime during maintenance or unexpected outages thanks to its automatic failover. Overall, it’s helped us build a more reliable and resilient platform for our users.
